Day 1 Picton to Queen Charlotte Track
Welcome to Picton. Join your group for a welcome meeting before catching a ferry to Meretoto, keeping an eye out for dolphins along the way. Your hike begins by ascending through untouched forests of fern and beech, taking in admirable views of Queen Charlotte and then descending into Resolution bay for a picnic lunch. The afternoon takes you the stunning Endeavour Inlet where you will have downtime to relax by the water before continuing on to your lodge accommodation for the evening.

Begin your day by skirting along the coastline through verdant native bush before passing through Big Bay and Camp Bay en-route to the beautiful Punga Cove in the Marlborough Sounds where you will spend the night. The afternoon is yours to explore the picturesque town, soak in the stunning scenery and maybe opt to explore the bay in a kayak.
